CHAP. IX. Shewing the Significations of the Sun in the Twelve Houses of Hea∣ven in any Annual Revolution, whether he be Lord of the Year or no.

REhearsing the Planets according to their order and places in the Heavens, after Mars follows the Sun,* 1.1 who if he be in the Ascen∣dent fortunate, essentially dignified, and in reception with the Lord of the Ascendent, and beheld amically by him, the year shall generally be happy and successful for every one, as well the King as the Beggar; but if he be therein infortunate, it shall be clean contrary; and especially noble and great men shall suffer in their persons dishonour, disgrace, and be per∣haps cast out of their dignities and places.

* 1.2The Sun in the second, the People shall waste and expend their wealth, also their Rulers shall covet after the fingring and disposing thereof, insomuch that they shall live sneakingly and poor.

* 1.3The Sun in the third, shews the People shall delight in goodness, and in the Law, shall love and associate themselves with their neighbours, friends, kindred and asso∣ciates, for the which they shall be praised.

* 1.4If he be in the fourth, Gardens and Vegetables shall be spoyled and suffer de∣triment, especially if he be in signs of that nature; great men and high shall be made low and degraded; and if it be a watry sign, the earth shall be dry, and the water dried up: [I believe the Ancients meant fiëry.]

* 1.5Again, If the Sun be in the fifth, he denotes detriment and grief to such Crea∣tures as are with young, so that hardly do any escape without some manifest hurt or other.

* 1.6Also if he be in the sixth, many griefs and infirmities shall happen, and chiefly in the eyes, and such living Creatures shall dye as are signified by the sign wherein he is located; the King also or chief Rulers shall be sad that year, much loss also and damage shall be by servants, and such things as are signified by the sixth House; also the ignoble and baser sort of People shall envy and raise themselves up against their Superiours.

* 1.7Moreover, if he be in the seventh, he denoteth discords between the People and their Rulers, and betwixt the King and the Nobles, and that the King shall keep at a distance with the People, or keep himself retire from them.

* 1.8In the eighth, he denotes the death of Kings and great men, also the deposing of Kings, and unthroning of Nobles and Grandees, and a lessening or diminishing of their power, especially if he be beheld by the Lord of the eighth.

* 1.9But if he be in the ninth, he shews the inclinations of the People are generally to good, and that they shall be fortunate and successful in long Journies and Voyages, and shall love and delight in both the Law of God and Man.

* 1.10Also if the Sun be in the tenth, it denotes the glory, renown and honour of the King or chief Rulers, also the good condition of the People, and that there shall be kindness and love betwixt them; for the People shall willingly obey, and the Superiors shall conferr honour and priviledges on the People.

* 1.11And if he chance to be in the eleventh, the People generally shall have joy and gladness, and shall be merry and solace themselves with their friends, acquaintance and familiars, and their hopes shall not be frustrated; the chief Rulers shall love the People also, and be advantageous unto them.

* 1.12Lastly, if he be in the twelfth, Rich and Noblemen, and the Grandees shall be eclipsed in their honour, and ignoble persons shall affront and prejudice them; and the People generally shall hate and despise their Superiours, and their Superiours shall oppress and torment them.
